About PACEWelcome to the 2018 Pathways to Achieving Civic Engagement Conference! Today faculty, administrators, and community partners representing 35 institutions from 6 states will share research, model programs, and best-practices related to service-learning and community engagement.

Last year, PACE was on hiatus to encourage support of the 2017 Gulf-South Summit, hosted by UNC Greensboro and held in North Carolina for the first time. Thanks to those of you who contributed to the success of the Summit, as nearly half of the attendees were from North Carolina. Congratulations to Dr. Cathy Hamilton, Director of UNCG’s Office of Leadership & Service-Learning, and her team, for a great job hosting.

We are pleased to return to Elon University for #NCPACE18 as this marks the 20th year of this annual event. It started as a Service-Learning Institute at Elon coordinated by North Carolina Campus Volunteers (NCCV). In 2002, North Carolina Campus Compact was formed, merged with NCCV, and became the conference organizer; in 2009 this event was re-named PACE.

We are excited that Dr. Nick Longo is joining us at PACE for the first time. He will revisit ideas laid out in a 2006 book he co-edited, Students as Colleagues: Expanding the Circle of service-Learning Leadership. (Our 2005 PACE conference featured co-editors of the book, Dr. Edward Zlotkowski and James Williams.) Dr. Longo will also share insights from the 2016 book Publicly Engaged Scholars: Next Generation Engagement and the Future of Higher Education, which he co-edited.

This year we added a Mini-Sessions workshop block. These topical sessions combine depth with brevity to allow for stimulating idea generation and conversations. Learn more on page 18.

Our work to ensure that higher education contributes to the health and strength of our communities and our democracy, while preparing students for civic and social responsibility, is more necessary than at any point in our 16-year history as a state Compact. I hope you will leave PACE with renewed vigor and commitment to make this a reality.

Notes

CAROL E. QUILLEN has led Davidson College in reimagining the liberal arts experience, creating a new model for higher education in an increasingly interconnected world.

Since becoming the college’s 18th president in 2011, Quillen has championed Davidson’s civic mission and focused on preparing students to lead and innovate in the service of something larger than themselves.

Davidson colleagues testify to Quillen’s dynamic leadership, noting how she has “embraced and raised the wattage of Davidson’s mission” and “strategically deepened Davidson’s culture for civic engagement.” Under her leadership, the institution embarked on a $425 million comprehensive campaign in 2014: “GameChangers: Inspiring Leaders to Change the World.”

Quillen’s support for collaborative research has given Davidson students opportunities to produce new knowledge, whether working with faculty in the classroom or entrepreneurs in the community. A new graduation requirement approved in 2016 has students taking at least one course that explores justice, equality, and community. Major gifts from the Duke Endowment are enhancing inclusive pedagogy and interdisciplinary learning.

President Quillen has helped create immersive, community-based experiences like the Education Scholars, a summer program for students seeking to drive change in Charlotte’s K-12 education system. Another program -- the Davidson Impact Fellows – pairs recent graduates with local nonprofit agencies to address critical social issues. In 2014, Quillen

saw the launch of the Davidson College Advising Corps, a partnership with the National College Advising Corps to place Davidson graduates as college mentors at under-resourced schools.

Nationally, Quillen has become a spokesperson for access and affordability in higher education. She served on President Obama’s Advisory Council on Financial Capability for Young Americans in 2014-2015. She has continued to strengthen the Davidson Trust, which allows the college to practice need-blind

admission and meet 100 percent of demonstrated need for all students through a combination of grants and campus employment, with no packaged loans. In 2016, Davidson became a founding member of the American Talent Initiative, one of 30 distinguished colleges and universities seeking to expand the number of talented low- and moderate-income students at America’s top-performing institutions.

President Quillen is a frequent speaker at community events, and she serves on the board of directors of the American Council on Education, the National Alliance of Public Charter Schools, the Levine Museum of the New South, and the National Humanities Center. She previously served on the Executive Board of North Carolina Campus Compact.

Quillen grew up in New Castle, Delaware. She earned a bachelor’s degree in American history from the University of Chicago, and received a Ph.D. in European history from Princeton University. She arrived at Davidson from Rice University, where she served as vice president for international and interdisciplinary initiatives.

2018 LEO M. LAMBERT ENGAGED LEADER AWARD RECIPIENT

President Carol Everhart Quillen, Davidson College


LEO M. LAMBERT has led Elon's rise to national prominence since 1999, promoting a student-centered culture that values strong relationships between students and their faculty and staff mentors. Focused on developing students as global citizens, ethical leaders and creative problem-solvers, Lambert has led two strategic plans, creating a model for the modern liberal arts university. Elon is known for academic excellence across the curriculum, and for its innovative programs in study abroad, undergraduate research, leadership, interfaith dialogue, civic engagement and community service, and preparing students for meaningful careers and advanced study.

Under Lambert's leadership, Elon has invested heavily in developing its residential campus, building four major neighborhoods, integrating academic and residence life programs and nurturing a flourishing intellectual climate. During Lambert's tenure, the university has established new schools of law and health sciences. A chapter of Phi Beta

Kappa was established at Elon in 2010, following major investments in academic resources and arts and sciences programs. More than 100 buildings have been added to campus, including Belk Library, Koury Business Center, the Academic Village, Francis Center and numerous athletics facilities, including Rhodes Stadium.

A recognized leader in higher education, Lambert has held leadership roles for numerous organizations, including the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, the Association

of American Colleges and Universities and the NCAA. He is co-author of, The Undergraduate Experience: Focusing Institutions on What Matters Most, published by Jossey-Bass in 2016.

President Lambert will conclude his highly acclaimed service as Elon’s 8th president on March 1. After a year-long sabbatical, he will return to serve Elon as president emeritus and professor.

LEO M. LAMBERT ENGAGED LEADER AWARD

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of NC Campus Compact, the executive board created this award to honor President Lambert’s significant contributions to our shared work.

The Board annually selects a North Carolina college president or chancellor, nominated by their peers, who is committed to creating and sustaining engagement that deeply impacts community and campus.

ANNIE JONAS, Ed.D., is an educator who believes experiential learning can unlock a student’s potential. Drawing on her own experiences as an Outward Bound wilderness guide, public school teacher, and nonprofit administrator, Jonas designs vibrant service-learning courses that connect Warren Wilson College students and local school children. She supports fellow faculty members as they incorporate service into their own coursework, and she helps her campus develop a deeper understanding of civic engagement.

Jonas came to Warren Wilson in 2005 as a professor of education, and she has served as chair of the education department since 2011. Her courses all involve service-learning. Her “Educational Psychology” course, for example, has been in partnership with a local K-8 charter school for sixteen semesters. The partnership includes shared goals such as “nurturing dialogue” and “developing future leaders.”

“As we achieve these goals each semester,” writes the school’s principal, “it is clear that the partnership Annie has built and nourished is a model of authentic learning for the field of education.”

The community-based learning Warren Wilson students do in a Jonas course makes a lasting impression. A former student who is now a teacher writes that she “vividly remember[s] working with a local middle school science teacher and his students to craft my first ever lesson on genetics.” She continues: “Without Annie’s passion for community engagement, and the powerful, formative experiences she enabled me to have, I would not be the same educator that I am today.”

Over the years, Jonas has also become a faculty leader of community engagement, first as a participant in the college’s Service Learning Fellows program, then as the Faculty Liaison to the Service Learning Program, and now as Director of

Faculty Community Engagement. She has led faculty workshops on experiential education and service-learning, advised and consulted with colleagues, and shared her knowledge with the field, presenting research at conferences like PACE and the Gulf South Summit and serving as an associate editor for the Journal of Experiential Education.

In 2015, Jonas was selected as an “Engaged Faculty Scholar” by North Carolina Campus Compact, one of two faculty members chosen for the program’s launch. In this role, Jonas explored

developmental aspects of “civic identity” and how the school’s first year seminar might intentionally foster this growth.

Building on her work as an Engaged Faculty Scholar, Jonas and other colleagues defined civic identity as a learning outcome for the first year seminar course in the fall of 2016. The group then conceived a developmental model of civic identity, and support for the concept spread. In fall of 2017, the college Cabinet approved civic identity as the primary educational outcome for all Warren Wilson College students, a testament to Jonas’s institutional leadership.

“Without hesitation, I attribute much of this success to Annie,” writes a colleague. “Her research and understanding of civic identity, skilled listening, consideration of various perspectives, and ability to synthesize feedback allowed for this success.”

Jonas earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Guilford College, a master of education and a secondary teaching certificate from Harvard University, and her doctorate in education from Western Carolina University. Before her career in higher education, she was executive director of a wilderness experience program for low-income kids, director of the Project POWER AmeriCorps program in Buncombe County, and a public school teacher in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

2018 ENGAGED FACULTY AWARD

Annie Jonas, Warren Wilson College


ENGAGED FACULTY AWARD

Formerly the Robert L. Sigmon Service-Learning Award

This award recognizes one faculty member from a North Carolina Campus Compact member institution for exemplary engaged teaching and/or scholarship, including leadership in advancing students’ community and civic learning, conducting community-based research, fostering reciprocal community partnerships, building institutional commitments to service-learning and community engagement, and other means of enhancing higher education’s contributions to the public good.

Between 2006 - 2017, NC Campus Compact presented the Robert L. Sigmon Service Learning Award, recognizing one faculty member in our network who made significant contributions to the practice of service-learning. The award was named in honor of Robert L. Sigmon, service-learning pioneer and North Carolina native. In 1967, along with Bill Ramsay and Wendell Russell, he coined the phrase “service-learning” to better describe the community-based internships they facilitated at the Southern Regional Education Board. In 2009, Mr. Sigmon donated his personal library and research to Elon University to create the Robert L. Sigmon Service-Learning Collection. In 2016, the archive was digitized and is now available online. Sigmon contributed to the publication Where's The Wisdom in Service-Learning? (Information Age Press, 2017), which included reflections from 10 service-learning pioneers about the current state of service-learning.

In 2017 Sigmon asked that his name be removed from the award because “it is the service-learning movement in its many variations, rather than any one or two individuals who need to be recognized. The service-learning language has now had a 50-year run with all kinds of frameworks added and subtracted.” To honor his wishes we have expanded the award beyond service-learning to recognize other forms of engaged teaching and learning. We are forever indebted to Mr. Sigmon for his vision, leadership, and legacy.

“I long to see the day when citizens and institutions around the world - both service

and educational - encourage “developing imaginations” (i.e. young people) to work

cooperatively using the basic principles of reciprocity, of mutual service and learning, and

of movement toward just relationships as the bedrock of their evolving life patterns.”

~ Robert L. Sigmon

2018 CIVIC ENGAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR AWARD

SUSTAINER

This award recognizes a staff person at a North Carolina Campus Compact member campus who has – for five or more years – worked for the institutionalization of service, fostered a campus-wide vision

of service, supported faculty and students, and formed innovative campus-community partnerships.

Charlotte Chun Williams, Lenoir-Rhyne University

For nearly two decades, CHARLOTTE

WILLIAMS, M.A., has been an architect of Lenoir-Rhyne University’s community engagement programming.

Williams first came to Lenoir-Rhyne University (LR) in 1999 as a visiting assistant professor and coordinator of the human and community services (HCS) program. Today she serves as Associate Dean for Engaged and Global Learning, and she continues to coordinate the HCS program. Through her teaching, administration, and civic leadership, Williams has touched the lives of countless LR students and local citizens.

In addition to teaching service-learning courses in the HCS program, Williams advises and mentors students, sets course schedules and teaching assignments, secures grants to expand programming, and administers fieldwork placements. Participation in the program has doubled during her tenure.

Williams supports co-curricular service as well, promoting the annual Hands On Hickory event and serving as an advisor to the Circle K club. For several years, she served as the university’s liaison to NC Campus Compact, supervised Lenoir-Rhyne’s AmeriCorps VISTA member, and managed an NC-ACTs AmeriCorps grant which provided community service scholarships to students. In 2014, she was honored with the university’s “Outstanding Student Organization Faculty Advisor Award.”

A current LR colleague who was once her student praises Williams’s “natural way of meeting students where they are and listening with patience and compassion.”

Williams also models civic leadership. Last fall, she was appointed by the Governor to serve as the 5th Congressional district representative on the NC Human Relations

Commission. Previously, she was elected and served two terms on the Hickory Board of Education, and she has served on numerous non-profit boards, including the boards of the United Arts Council of Catawba County, Catawba County Habitat for Humanity, and Cognitive Connection, a local substance abuse program. In 2008, she received LR’s “Community Service Award.” She was also honored by the Hickory Schools Foundation with the “Outstanding Community Partner Award, 2014-15.”

The executive director of the local Women’s Resource Center credits Williams for supporting the center in many ways, including serving as Board President for six years and fostering connections with students.

“We have been enriched and blessed to serve as a starting point in community service for many young people Charlotte sent our way,” she wrote.

Beyond service to the campus and local community, Williams has supported global learning and engagement. In 2009, she developed SOURCE, the Symposium on University Research and Creative Expression. This annual event showcases research and creative work by LR undergrad and graduate students. In 2017, she helped the university secure a $5 million gift to establish a new center for international education, and she is currently working to develop center programming.

Williams received her bachelor’s of social work from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and her master’s of arts from the University of Chicago. Earlier in her career, she worked for the City of Chicago as Assistant Commissioner of Planning and as Assistant Deputy Mayor for Community Services.


2018 CIVIC ENGAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR AWARD

EMERGING LEADER

This award recognizes a staff person at a North Carolina Campus Compact member campus who has – for five or fewer years – worked for the institutionalization of service, fostered a campus-wide vision

of service, supported faculty and students, and formed innovative campus-community partnerships.

Tamara M. Johnson, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte

Over the course of her relatively short tenure at UNC Charlotte, TAMARA

M. JOHNSON, Ph.D., has shaped the civic engagement landscape and mapped new pathways that connect students and community.

Her official position – “Research Associate for Academic Planning and Analysis” in the Office of Academic Affairs – belies her significant civic engagement responsibilities. Johnson works enthusiastically to assess and connect the university’s disparate civic engagement work, empowering students, convening colleagues, and spearheading key campus-wide initiatives.

As the coordinator of the university’s North Carolina Campus Compact working group, Johnson oversees efforts to enhance the practice of community-based learning. In 2015, she was instrumental in establishing UNC Charlotte’s biennial Engaged Scholarship and Community Partnership Symposium, an occasion for cross-disciplinary collaboration and sharing best practices. She led committees that organized gatherings for campus and community members around key local issues: Hunger in Charlotte in 2016 and Housing Affordability in 2017. Last fall, she was a key ally for a student-led project to bring Charlotte-Mecklenburg police to campus for a conversation with students and community members about police-involved shootings.

Currently, Johnson is leading UNC Charlotte’s development of a Civic Action Plan. She aims to create a set of strategic initiatives that align teaching, research, and service around an urgent community need, economic mobility.

“Tamara acts in ways that catalyze change by serving as the momentum and connection in a system that is decentralized and prone to silos,” says UNC Charlotte Provost Joan Lorden.

Johnson is also committed to student engagement. Since 2014, she has chaired the 49er Democracy Experience, a group of students who seek to engage their peers in elections and democratic action. While students organize and carry out voter engagement activities, Johnson amplifies their work by brokering partnerships with Residence Life, Athletics, and other campus departments. Their collective efforts engaged hundreds of student voters and helped UNC Charlotte be recognized as a “Voter Friendly Campus.”

Working with colleagues in the Dean of Students Office, Johnson also co-founded

and co-leads UNC Charlotte’s Bonner Leaders program, which welcomed its first cohort in the fall of 2016. A four-year campus-community collaboration that uses federal work-study funds to subsidize public service, the program places students at local non-profit partners. One Bonner Leader, who was also invited by Johnson to serve on the Civic Action Plan committee, says Johnson is “willing to lift others up and guide them toward a path of success.”

“By literally offering me a seat at the table,” the student says, Johnson helped grow “my understanding of how change is made and what needs to be changed in our community.”

Johnson also teaches as an adjunct faculty member in the Global Studies department. In 2015 and 2016 she led summer study abroad trips to Cape Town, South Africa, where she once served as a Peace Corps volunteer. Johnson received her bachelor’s degree in geography and international studies from UNC-Chapel Hill, where she later completed her Ph.D. in geography. Before arriving at UNC Charlotte in 2012, she was an instructor at UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC Charlotte, and the University of Cape Town.

Guided Conversation Tool for Reflecting on Justice in Service-Learning Courses

Location: McKinnon Hall

Service-learning literature endorses “critical” frameworks, but often faculty lack the support necessary to implement pedagogy and programming that are aligned with these principles. Duke Service-Learning has created a guided conversational tool for faculty seeking to implement justice practices in service-learning courses. During this presentation, attendees will complete the self-assessment, hear results from the pilot, and offer feedback on the instrument.
